PETALS 1.3

PETALS is an ObjectWeb Java Business Integration (JBI) platform. PETALS provides lightweight and packaged integration solutions, based on JSR-208 specifications, with a high focus on distribution and clustering.
PETALS is part of ObjectWeb ESB initiative, and was launched in June 2005 by EBM WebSourcing and Fossil E-Commerce.
The project leverages ObjectWeb architecture and projects like Fractal, JORAM, JOnAS to provide a JBI container with a focus on :
- JBI specification conformance
- Integrate JBI in JOnAS
- Multi JVM, distributed and clustered platform for JBI components with native transport based on existing ObjectWeb middleware : JORAM and Dream
- Propose packaged solutions for process orchestration (with focus on BPEL engine, Transformation engine, Web Services and JMS binding components) and B2B integration (with focus on Transformation and B2B bindng components like EDI, ...)
Enhancements:
- This release contains all the PETALS elements that are useful for integration solutions.
- New features include static definition of the distributed environment (avoiding multicast auto-discovering), an improvement to the Web Administrative console, IBM JVM compatibility, and more Binding components.
